Statement of Clarification: Emperor International has no relationship with華中投資/北京華中投資有限公司 or its corresponding website www.huazhongbj.com

It has recently come to our knowledge that a company claimed to be known as “華中投資” (“Huazhong Investment”*) or “北京華中投資有限公司” (“Beijing Huazhong Investment Company Limited”*) has included on its website the logo of “Emperor Financial International” (英皇金融國際), one of the Group’s subsidiaries, which is hyperlinked to the Group’s website www.emperorgroup.com, thereby misleading the public to believe that the company is the Group’s partner. It is also claimed on the company’s website in text that another subsidiary of the Group, “Emperor Capital Group” (英皇證券集團), is its strategic business partner.

We hereby declare that the company “華中投資”, “北京華中投資有限公司” and the website www.huazhongbj.com do not have any relationship with the Group or any of its subsidiaries in any way.

We are highly concerned about the issue that our goodwill may have been misused to deceive the public. We urge all related parties to take caution and we reserve the right to take legal action in this regard.
